Buffalo continues to operate in familiar territory -- winning football games and keeping itself squarely in the AFC race. And now, at 10–4, and riding a three-game winning streak, the Bills sit just one game behind New England in the AFC East entering Week 16. But no matter how the postseason unfolds, the organizational mission remains unchanged: continue building around Josh Allen.
While much will change before we get to April, with scheme fit, personal evaluation, and conversations with scouts across football in mind, here is an early look at where Buffalo and GM Brandon Beane could go come April.
Round 1 (No. 24 overall): Denzel Boston, WR, Washington
Boston gives Buffalo a big, physical presence on the perimeter -- something the offense continues to search for opposite its speed and slot options. While Keon Coleman was drafted to fill that role, off-field concerns have made his long-term reliability uncertain.
Boston is a true three-level threat who can win at the catch point, threaten vertically, and work through contact underneath, and his skill set, paired with Josh Allen’s arm, has the potential to unlock another dimension in the passing game.
Round 2 (No. 56 overall): Deontae Lawson, LB, Alabama
Lawson brings range and SEC experience to the heart of the Bills’ defense. While he's a tick slow to react at times, he is constantly near the football and has a habit of wrangling down ball-carriers at or behind the line of scrimmage.
Round 3 (No. 88 overall): Dani Dennis-Sutton, EDGE, Penn State
The Bills stay true to their historical edge profile with Dennis-Sutton -- long, powerful, and capable of holding up on early downs. Similar to past investments like Gregory Rousseau and A.J. Epenesa, Dennis-Sutton offers size and strength first, with pass-rush development still trending upward.
He provides immediate rotational value and long-term upside as his move set continues to evolve.
Round 4 (No. 124 overall): Eugene Wilson III, WR, Florida
Doubling down at wideout here with Wilson III to add more athleticism and versatility to the WRs room.
Wilson projects as a rotational contributor early in his career, capable of handling designed touches, motion work, and matchup-based snaps. His explosiveness gives the Bills another option to stress defenses both horizontally and vertically.
Round 5 (No. 163 overall): Isaiah Nwokobia, S, SMU
Nwokobia is one of the premier box safeties in the class and fits what the Bills could desire strong safety spot next to Cole Bishop. He excels downhill, triggering quickly against the run and delivering contact in space. He also won't be afraid to cut his teeth on special teams, which could lead to more defensive snaps down the road.
Round 7 (No. 218 overall): Vincent Anthony Jr., EDGE, Duke
Anthony Jr. mirrors the size-and-length profile mentioned with Dennis-Sutton.
While his role early will likely be rotational, his ability to set the edge and generate pressure in spurts gives him a path to sticking on the roster.
Round 7 (No. 227 overall): Aiden Fisher, LB, Indiana
Aiden Fisher is simply a high-level football player who consistently impacts the game in multiple ways. A leader within one of the top defenses in the country, he brings versatility as a blitzer, run defender, and special teams contributor.
Fisher fits the mold of a late-round, physical, instinctive 'backer that sticks on a roster for a long, long time.
Round 7 (No. 237 overall): Charles Demmings, CB, Stephen F. Austin
One of the top small-school corners in the class, Demmings is a name to know who will have a major opportunity to elevate his stock at the Senior Bowl next month.
With Buffalo’s recent success developing small-school athletes (Christian Benford), Demmings profiles as a high-upside, late-round swing. His length, competitiveness, and ball skills give him a chance to emerge as one of the steals of the draft.
